✅ Learn real-time from expert
We intentionally limit each session to no more than five attendees. This ensures that every participant has ample space, individual attention, and time to interact meaningfully. It allows for open discussions, personalized guidance, and the freedom to ask questions directly to our mentor and founder, Ms. Mariam Ladhani—resulting in an experience that’s both educational and deeply insightful for anyone pursuing a career in professional waxing.
What sets this workshop apart is the opportunity to learn directly from a working solopreneur who continues to deliver services herself. Ms. Ladhani’s commitment to personal service is reflected in her 850+ five-star reviews for waxing in Richmond, VA. Attendees gain not just technical skills but also insight into how consistent service and authenticity can lead to long-term client retention and strong word-of-mouth.
In a city where most training is broad or product-driven, this workshop stays focused on real, working strategies that lead to sustainable results. You’ll observe the discreet, client-focused approach that has helped build a steady and loyal customer base—something rarely emphasized in traditional waxing schools in Richmond, Virginia.
